Al Khamsa (organization)

Al Khamsa is an organization dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and documentation of the Asil Arabian horse. Asil is a term used to describe Arabian horses of verified and exclusively Arabian bloodlines, tracing back to horses bred by the Bedouin tribes of the Arabian Peninsula.

The organization maintains strict standards for registration and conducts research to verify the pedigree and authenticity of Asil Arabians worldwide. This involves genealogical studies, DNA testing, and the collection of historical records.

Al Khamsa’s goals include:

• Maintaining a database of Asil Arabian horses.
• Promoting the Asil Arabian as a distinct breed.
• Providing education about the history and characteristics of the Asil Arabian.
• Working to preserve the genetic diversity of the breed.
• Supporting breeders and owners of Asil Arabians.

The organization publishes information on Asil Arabian bloodlines and history, and collaborates with other equine organizations to promote responsible breeding practices.
